| As part of our work with Disabled Children’s Partnership we are supporting Newlife the Charity for Disabled Children new report, ‘Fight For Our Future’, which reveals the bleak situation facing disabled children and their families. The report paints a bleak picture, revealing that only 2 in 5 families feel their child has all the equipment they need. Did you know? Over the last year, 60% of local authorities have seen assessment waiting lists grow, while nearly half have reduced their equipment budgets. Please read and share the report: newlife.support/fight-for-future They are urging Government to #ACTNow to make disabled children a priority. In this new report, they’re calling for a dedicated Minister for Disabled Children who will ACT: Accelerate equipment provision Cut assessment wait times Tackle staff shortages Sign their petition here: https://newlifecharity.co.uk/sign-petition/ #ActNow #FightForOurFuture |
